3 They poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them.
4 We have become a taunt to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.
5 How long, Adonai, will You be angry? Forever? Will Your jealousy keep blazing like fire?
6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.
7 For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his country.
8 Do not hold against us the sins of our fathers. May Your mercies come quickly to meet us, for we are brought very low.
9 Help us, God of our salvation— for the sake of the glory of Your Name. Deliver us, and atone for our sins— for Your name’s sake.
